BV will get a deal done with Snead without needing the tag. I predict the tag will go to CJ prior to his trade. This is probably CJ’s last contract and he is going to want to empty the Hunt coffers. Chiefs will not let CJ walk without some form of compensation outside of the potential compensatory draft pick. Time will tell.

It never gets used anymore due to risk, but how about transition tagging Jones?
Gives us the chance to match any offer, if we don’t, no compensation. Which is the same as if we just let him walk because the franchise tag is used already on Sneed. If the market doesn’t come back to Chris, and interest might be tempered it if teams know we can match. If that happens then we get him below $30mm and maybe can work it. I’m sure if some team wanted to give him that contract last year, it would have happened. Not sure what that ties up on our cap, if anything but I am sure Veach and team have some ideas. Hopefully we don’t need Tillis to navigate. |

If Jones really wants to be in KC, let him go test the market to see what he can get. Bring that offer back to Veach and see if we can match, or work out something close to that offer that keeps him in KC like he says he wants.
That allows us to see whats available at other positions of need too, instead of tying out hands behind our back in free agency. That would happen with placing the tag on Jones. |

Once guys hit the market, they aren't likely coming back.
It's fine guys, it is what it is. |

Decisions like this are why what KC is doing is so phenomenal. The dynasties of the 90s and before did not have to deal with FA and a salary cap like KC does. It made keeping the best players much easier than now.

If we let him test the market the poison pill doesn’t matter. If he finds his worth, bring it back to Veach. At that point, is it about the money, or staying in KC? Provided Veach will go close to his market value.

Didn’t Trent Williams just do that 3 or 4 years ago. Veach offered him, and he took a similar number, maybe even less, to stay a 49er?

#1 priority should be to get an "X" wide receiver then figure out what to do with Sneed and Jones. I can't imagine that they pay Jones. He'll be 30 next year

One caveat that got thrown in this year is back in August when they were offering Chris 27.5 AAV... I don't think they planned to keep LJ at the time. Certainly not at the price tag he now warrants. He missed all of camp with a knee issue.
So now that they probably feel he's a $15-20m AAV player, that changes the picture for Chris a ton even on a 'discount'. |

I love Sneed, would love to keep him.
But they've also been able to draft CB's like gangbusters, and the DT spot is thin. |

Yes I love Dave Merritt, but maybe these are just really good players and we need to keep them? Sneed's skill set and ability to press anyone and everyone is unique. The versatility is special. I think Watson and Williams are #3 corners at the very best. |
